He was just a little worried, the etiquette of the tomb was huge, and it would take at least a month. Let Xiao Tao be alone in the house, no one to take care of him, he was a little worried.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Kuangyi and said, "The one in your house." I've thought about it too, so let's take it to my mother and live there. I'm inconvenient there. Anyway, my mother is also a person, and I happen to have someone as a companion. Sooner or later, you have to pass through the door, so it is better to go to serve first. I'll send some more soldiers over to guard it. Don't worry about the Tang people going to rob them. ”

Zhao Kuangyi thought about it, and then nodded in agreement. Niang is not an unreasonable and commanding old woman, and she also gets along happily with several wives and concubines of Zhao Kuangyin. If you let Xiao Tao live there, it will be a safe place. Zhao Kuangyi nodded.

said goodbye to Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyi returned to the mansion with a heavy heart. Xiao Tao practiced calligraphy in the study, but it was better to say that she was in a daze. Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are laid out in a pile. But the man was nestled in a chair staring at a stone screen on the table, his brows furrowed tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhao Kuangyi coughed heavily, Xiao Tao jumped up from the chair all of a sudden, looking extremely flustered, but quickly calmed down, and smiled at Zhao Kuangyi: "Childe, you're back." ”

Zhao Kuangyi's heart tugged, and Xiao Tao's panicked expression just now unabashedly expressed what she just thought must be something she shouldn't have thought about. But what should she not think? Qi Zhengxiu? Zhao Kuangyi's head hurts a little, he hates himself very much now, and his suspicion is very unatmospheric, but some people can really force people to this realm!

Zhao Kuangyi endured the awkwardness in his heart, and tried his best to calm his tone: "Half a month later." I'm going to accompany you to the tomb. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Tao didn't understand.

"Accompany the emperor to the mausoleum, about a month." Zhao Kuangyi added. But seeing the obvious relief on Xiao Tao's face, his heart became awkward again, and he continued coldly, "It's inconvenient for you to stay alone in the house, so you can live with my mother then." ”

Xiao Tao's mood just after Panasonic became nervous again, living with Zhao Kuangyi's mother? Her heart fluttered for no reason. Rubbing his hand back and forth with his shirt: "No need. I can do it myself. Going there, extra trouble."

"Trouble?" Zhao Kuangyi's lips hooked, but his eyes were very sharp, "Is it to cause trouble for my mother, or will you be in trouble yourself?" Can't always get out of your mind and think about things you shouldn't think? ”

Xiao Tao was severely blocked by Zhao Kuangyi's words, shouldn't she think about it? She was thinking about what she shouldn't have been, but she couldn't control it. When she came back from Taiwan, she wanted to inquire about Qi Gongzi's news, even if she didn't worry about her life, was she injured? Did you go back to Datang smoothly? But Zhao Kuangyi sent people to look at the mansion strictly, and Xiao Tao couldn't take a single step. Even if she spoke, she never had a chance to see again. It's just that Zhao Kuangyi unintentionally told her coldly "he's fine" after getting drunk once that she let go of the heart that she had been hanging. However, how could she quickly cut through the mess and say that she didn't want to, she didn't want to?

Xiao Tao looked at Zhao Kuangyi, who was mean-spoken, and wanted to say something. still took it back, only turning into a low-eyebrow pleasing sentence, "Okay, then I'll go." ”

But even in this sentence, Zhao Kuangyi also heard a taste of reluctance. This taste also made him frown, Zhao Kuangyi raised his hand, and wanted to pat Xiao Tao's shoulder, but Xiao Tao was so frightened that he took two steps back, and his face turned white.

The torture of these days made Xiao Tao tremble when he saw Zhao Kuangyi who came back drunk. Although she knew that no matter what, this man would not really hurt her, but now this kind of torture, is it venting, struggling, or hurting? Little Peach doesn't know. All she knew was that he was unhappy when he exerted himself on her, and that his tightly knit brow and the pain in his eyes showed that he was unhappy and not easy. On the contrary, she is a little relaxed, and the pain in her body can offset the load in her heart?

But even so, the body was really painful, and there was a lot of blue all over the body, and some places had not yet dispersed, and new scars had come up. Xiao Tao gave herself some medicine to invigorate blood and remove blood stasis during the day, but then she simply stopped applying, the old injury was not healed, and the new injury came, and she couldn't apply it. But seeing Zhao Kuangyi again, especially Zhao Kuangyi after drinking, Xiao Tao's physiological reaction was a shiver of pain.

Xiao Tao's fear made Zhao Kuangyi's outstretched hand stiffen, then retracted it and walked out without any expression on his face. At night, I was still half drunk and half awake, still struggling hard. Is this an addiction due to pain, or is it a pain due to addiction? Zhao Kuangyi himself couldn't tell the difference.

And Xiao Tao still couldn't call Zhao Tingyi's name, but she gasped when she was in pain, and whispered in her throat.

The day of departure is getting closer and closer, Zhao Kuangyi has come back less, and the training of soldiers in the barracks has also been strengthened a lot. After all, if you want to accompany the king, you must have high morale. In the past, I only practiced for one morning, but now I have to train rigorously in the morning and afternoon. Zhao Kuangyi sometimes lived directly in the barracks when he was late. Xiao Tao is also a little more relaxed.

At the end of September, the autumn breeze gradually rose. The autumn of Kaifeng came earlier than the autumn in Jiangnan, and Xiao Tao already felt a little shrunken. At this time, Jiangnan should still be autumn grass not withered, right? The cold and lonely season makes Xiao Tao a little homesick, but also a little sad. Home, where is her home?

Xiao Tao got up and went to the storeroom in the backyard, intending to look for any cloth that could be used to sew a thicker garment. Her Jiangnan body is already a little unbearable.

Xiao Tao didn't alarm the subordinates, took the key from the housekeeper, and went to the warehouse to find it by himself. This mansion was newly prepared by Zhao Kuangyin for Zhao Kuangyi, but it is also very large. Xiao Tao sometimes can't understand why these powerful people always make the house so pompous regardless of how many people live, it's really a waste. And it's hard to find things. There were a bunch of shelves in the storeroom, and all kinds of things were in boxes, and some were scattered like that. Xiao Tao searched for more than an hour and didn't find out where the cloth was. Only then did I understand why so many people had to be served in the deep house compound, and this treasury alone had to be guarded by a special person.

Xiao Tao dusted off the dust on her body, and was about to go out to find a maid to come over to help, when two rough subordinates walked by, both dressed in short clothes, chatting while walking, "You really don't say that there are no ghosts and gods in the world." Yes, there must be ghosts and gods, and there are also retributions in the present world. But no, you said that the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty was so noble, didn't he also be asked for his life by ghosts and gods?"

When Xiao Tao heard "Prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty", her heart thumped twice, Prince? Hurriedly shouted to the two people who had just passed: "Wait a minute." ”

When the two of them were standing, Xiao Tao couldn't wait to run over and ask, "What did you just say about the Prince of Southern Tang?" ”

The two subordinates looked at each other, only hating themselves for being so talkative and forgetting their shape, how could the main owner of this house be a Tang man and forget it. looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.

Xiao Tao asked anxiously again: "What's wrong with the prince?" "Qi Gongzi is the prince's person, if something happens to the prince, what about Qi Gongzi?

The subordinates saw that Xiao Tao was anxious, and they didn't dare to support me anymore, and one of them said boldly: "We are also hearsay, and now the news has spread." Wasn't Li Jingsui, the king of Jin in the Southern Tang Dynasty, dead? Suddenly he died, and I don't know what happened. Now that the crown prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty is also dead, he said that he was crazy before he died, not only admitting that Li Jingsui was poisoned by him, but also shouting that Li Jingsui's ghost came to him to ask for his life. Isn't this the manifestation of ghosts and gods? ”

Ghosts asking for their lives? Xiao Tao asked with some disbelief, "Really?" ”

The subordinate looked at Xiao Tao and said, "We don't know if it's true or not." But the prince is really dead, and now the whole world knows about it. And some people also spread more and more suspense, saying that the prince had nightmares every day and dreamed that ghosts were asking for his life, and his cloak was scattered all over the palace, and that there was blood everywhere on the ground-"

The subordinate's tone was low, and Xiao Tao heard goosebumps all over her body, and her lips began to tremble: "Okay, don't say it again." After saying that, he ordered his subordinates to retreat, and he had no intention of looking for cloth again, so he returned to the house, and couldn't help but continue to be in a daze.

Was the prince killed by a ghost? Xiao Tao has always been suspicious of ghosts, no one has ever seen it with their own eyes, and if there is really a ghost, why is her mother reluctant not to come back to see her? But if the prince really died like this, not a war, not a punishment, then Prince Qi should be fine, right?

Thinking of the prince, Xiao Tao's thoughts flew far away. I still remember that when I was in Haozhou, Xiao Tao saw the prince for the first time, and the prince in my impression was a bold person, and he also rewarded her with gold coins on her birthday. That's a big bounty. But why should such a person die? He's not that old. Xiao Tao's heart is inevitably a little sad, especially in Kaifeng, a foreign place, Xiao Tao's compassion is even stronger. There is also some dampness at the corners of the eyes.

I don't know how long it took, there was a heavy footstep in Xiao Tao's ears, and she wiped her eyes and raised her eyes. It's strange that every time he thinks about something, Zhao Kuangyi will come back in due time. Xiao Tao barely squeezed out a smile, and before she could speak, Zhao Kuangyi's sneer had already passed first: "Not only are you thinking about it today, but you are crying?" ”

Xiao Tao bit her lip and changed the subject: "Have you eaten?" Tell your subordinates to prepare food, right? "Dou He Dacai.

Zhao Kuangyi stared at Xiao Tao tightly, and said lightly for a while: "I haven't eaten yet." After saying that, he turned around and went out of the room to wash his hands and change clothes. Xiao Tao walked out quickly and instructed his subordinates to prepare food.

After a while, the food was put on the table, and Zhao Kuangyi and Xiao Tao sat on both sides of the huge table, quietly pulling the rice, and there was no other movement in the room. Xiao Tao only felt that even her breathing was so quiet that she could hear an echo. I couldn't help but start to get distracted again.

Zhao Kuangyi looked at Xiao Tao wandering away again, frowned, and said, "I'm going to leave tomorrow." ”
